If you want your stuff moved properly, efficiently and with care, don't look anywhere else. Felix and his crew at Oh Ship are HANDS DOWN the best moving team around!
I have moved before and we were dreading having to do it again, in August (San Jacinto summers are hot as can be). We decided to hire a moving company because we were in a bit of a time crunch, so we searched Google and came across Oh Ship! with a 5 star rating. Best of all, they are local! Gave them a call and left a message. Felix called me back almost immediately and after we discussed our situation, he suggested to come to the house so he could give us an in-home estimate. That's very rare for any moving company to do but I really appreciated it.
He came the next day and we went room by room, talking about all the things that needed to go and the things that would stay. After we were done, he went over what we did and calculated what it would take. He gave me two estimates:. One of his crew did EVERYTHING (boxing stuff up included), and the other where they would move everything as long as it was boxed (along with furniture and big items).
Our house was 3100 SQ ft so I knew it would be pricey but it was a bit more than my last time. However, he assured me everything would be taken out with care and everything would be done in the time frame we needed (2 days) but if they went over, there would not be any extra charges. We were paying for the whole project, not on an hourly basis (which is where other moving companies can up the price on your quote. Plus, he offered to throw a full truckload of trash for us, which saved us tremendously.
We decided to go with the "we box, you move" option since it was cheaper and we had already done a lot of the packing.
The day of the move came and his crew was at the house right on time. We started early to beat the heat. They started to move everything quickly but carefully, which we really appreciated. By the end of the first day, it looked like we had out a huge dent on the project.
The next day, he had another crew come refreshed and ready to move. We had some huge items (backyard swing set, shed, trampoline) which they helped move. Everything was on track but we needed another half day. Luckily, we had an extra day and his crew came the 3rd day and finished it off. They helped us move everything into its new place and got rid of all of our junk. We couldn't be happier.
While the process was stressful, Felix and his team made the whole thing a breeze. They were worth EVERY penny. Not only that, they just called me to pick up some boxes and trash that i had laying around a week after my move, free of charge! You just don't get that kind of service anywhere anymore.
I am not planning on moving anymore but if I ever did, I would not hesitate to call Oh Ship! again. They should be the only place you call if you need moving services. There is a reason why they have a 5 star rating. I would give them 10 if I could!
Thank you guys so much!
